Kit Danes

There is very little known about reclusive author Kit Danes the famed creator of the Charley Dove books we all remember Charley's adventures such as 'The Night of Terrors' or 'The Golden Cross' or the legendary 'Times Echo'

We are lucky enough to have been granted access to a small sample of Charley's latest adventure: Charley Dove and The Shattered Heart

Here it is please enjoy:

'From the Depths'

'… Charley stood unsteady on the rocky surface of the cave. The cold damp air which enclosed seemed to be coming from the very itself, as if it was the breath of the very rocks of breath of creatures millions of years old waiting patiently for reasons beyond the understanding of this young mind.

From deep within the caves solid blackness something glittered, impossible beams of light where shooting and reflecting off the surface of this unground world.

What could it be? Flash of a million possibilities rushed across Charley's mind, possibilities which seem to solidify into one reality as the thing encroached on the pale white beam of Charley's torch.

A giant walking crystal! It filled the cave, it was the cave all Charley could do was stare at his own face aghast, as it was shattered within multiple reflections of the angles of this beast of diamond. Charley could feel icy cold shards enclose him as he tried to resist the impossible solid grip of the creatures deep cold smooth embrace as the glass blackness of unconsciousness took him.'

Hope you enjoyed that as much as we did, and we can't wait to find out how Charley got here and how he's going to get out!!
